The upbeat sentiment around stabilizing interest rates and robust quarterly earnings caused equities to rebound towards the end of the year, with the benchmark S&P 500 within a hailing distance of its highest intra-day level of the year at 4,607.07 points, earlier hit in July. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also notched their highest closing since early 2022 on Friday, after data showed non-farm payrolls were higher than expected, underscoring hopes that the world's largest economy could control inflation without slipping into recession. Focus now shifts to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data due on Tuesday, which is expected to show headline inflation remaining unchanged in November, and the Fed's last interest rate decision of the year, due on Wednesday.  ( 35 min )

As victory celebrations go, the Federal Reserve's announcement of a quarter point interest rate cut in July of 1995 was hardly ostentatious. "As a result of the monetary tightening initiated in early 1994, inflationary pressures have receded enough to accommodate a modest adjustment in monetary conditions," the Fed, then led by Alan Greenspan, said as it began to loosen its grip on the economy after nipping incipient inflation and with such good timing that the unemployment rate continued what would become an eight-year decline. Job and economic growth that had been ebbing into a possible recessionary spiral both picked up.  ( 36 min )

The dollar started Monday on the front foot, with a reading on U.S. inflation and the Federal Reserve's last policy meeting for the year likely to set the tone for the week, while rising deflationary pressure in China leant on the yuan. The greenback pushed back above 145 yen and last bought 145.12 yen, reversing some of its steep fall against the Japanese currency late last week, as bets grew that the Bank of Japan's ultra-low interest rates policy may be nearing an end.
